Ontario craft first · cask always on
The Copper Fox lives in a 140-year-old brick storefront in Old Downtown Whitby — the one with the crooked doorframe we refuse to fix. The name comes from the fox that kept stealing the builders' lunches during the renovation. Anything that determined deserved the naming rights.
Everything leaves the kitchen made from scratch: the pies, the gravy, the sticky toffee pudding your table will fight over. Produce from Durham County growers, 24 taps heavy on Ontario craft — plus our own Fox & Hollow ESB, brewed twenty minutes up the road.
Chef Mara Quinn ran Toronto kitchens for fifteen years before coming home. Her rule is written above the pass: "If we wouldn't serve it to our mums, it doesn't leave."
The front room — brick, brass, and the good kind of noise.
Seats 30 with its own tap, its own screen, and a door that closes. Birthdays, work dos, engagement parties, wakes done right. Set menus from $38 a head — and the room fee disappears over $500 in food and drink. Both locations.
